"Telling a story through sound has always been my dream. Having been a composer and a musician from a very early age has allowed me to achieve this goal. I am so grateful to be living it. I love the collaboration of filmmaking and the thrill of helping a director reach an audience through film. I believe it is an important responsibility to 'give back' to the sound community by participating in our sound guilds, and also by helping young people to reach their goals in the craft of sound."
